The exterior recognition unit senses an other vehicle vicinity space in the vicinity of the other vehicle on the basis of the information of the other vehicle acquired by the other vehicle information acquisition unit.
- According to the present invention, it is possible to accelerate to a necessary speed to support merging, further confirm safety, and perform vehicle control for merging.

Moreover, with execution of prioritization of the objects as sensing targets of theexterior recognition unit 03 on the basis of information acquired by the other vehicleinformation acquisition unit 02, for example, the characteristics and position of the vehicle, it is possible to more efficiently sense the host vehicle vicinity information. - The host vehicle
action recognition unit 05 can acquire information such as the yaw rate, the wheel speed, the steering angle, the acceleration, representing the action of the host vehicle respectively from a gyro sensor, a wheel speed sensor, a steering angle sensor, an acceleration sensor, for example. - For example, at the time of merging from the merging lane to the main lane, the
path generating unit 06 performs sensing for a mergeable space on the main lane into which the host vehicle can merge (an entry space that allows the host vehicle to enter) on the basis of the information from the host vehicle vicinityinformation management unit 04 and the information from the host vehicleaction recognition unit 05, and determines a path for entering the mergeable space. Then, in accordance with the determined path, thepath generating unit 06 transmits a control signal and performs vehicle control of the host vehicle in the longitudinal direction such as accelerator and the brake, and in the lateral direction such as steering. - Even after the
path generating unit 06 first determines the path, the assumed mergeable space might change due to other vehicle's operation such as accelerating or decelerating or lane change. Therefore, the mergeable space is continuously sensed on the basis of the information from the host vehicle vicinityinformation management unit 04 and the host vehicleaction recognition unit 05, and when there is a change in the mergeable space, the path is generated again. - Next, the specifics of control when the host vehicle merges into the main lane from the merging lane will be described. As illustrated in
FIG. 2 , a host vehicle F01 is traveling on a merging lane Lb. At a point where a main lane La is outside the sensing range A1 of theexterior recognition unit 03, other vehicles on the main lane La and road conditions are sensed by the information from the other vehicleinformation acquisition unit 02. In the state illustrated inFIG. 2 , sensing of other vehicles by theexterior recognition unit 03 is not available. - From the action of other vehicles on the main lane La obtained here, a target speed of the host vehicle F01 is set to accelerate the host vehicle F01 so as to fit in the traffic stream of other vehicles on the main lane La. In a case where the other vehicle
information acquisition unit 02 has difficulty in acquiring the information of the other vehicle on the main lane La by vehicle-to-vehicle communication or road-to-vehicle communication, the speed limit of the host vehicle F01 is set to the target speed to accelerate the host vehicle F01. - Subsequently, as illustrated in
FIG. 3 , when a merging start point Ps of the merging section is reached at the set speed, theexterior recognition unit 03 performs sensing to examine whether there is a practically mergeable space on the main lane La. In a case where there is mergeable space as a result of the sensing, the vehicle is accelerated to the set speed continuously. - In contrast, there might be a case where the sensing performed when the host vehicle F01 reaches the merging start point Ps has revealed that there is another vehicle F03 not compatible with the vehicle-to-vehicle communication in a space F02 that has been recognized as mergeable until that point by communication. At this time, the other vehicle F03 is an obstacle to hinder entry of the host vehicle F01 into the space F02 (other vehicle vicinity space), and thus would disable safe merging of the host vehicle F01 in this state. Accordingly, examination to check whether there is another mergeable space behind the other vehicle F03 is performed. Whether there is another space can be examined, for example, by sensing by the
exterior recognition unit 03. - In the example illustrated in
FIG. 3 , a space F04 existing behind the vehicle F03 corresponds to the other mergeable space. At this time, the set speed of the host vehicle F01 is changed to enable merging into the other space F04. Furthermore, another mergeable space behind the space F04 and within the merging section is also searched for and listed as a candidate for a mergeable space. - Even in a case where there is no candidate space mergeable into the main lane La, there may be a case, as illustrated in
FIG. 4 , where an intention of lane change (merging) of the host vehicle F01 is demonstrated by a blinker (direction indicator) of the host vehicle F01, the vehicle-to-vehicle communication, or the like, and a mergeable space can be ensured by deceleration or lane change of the succeeding vehicle F03 on the main lane La. Therefore, in a case where it is difficult to find a merging space, the space that would be available as a mergeable space provided that the succeeding vehicle F03 decelerates or changes the lane, existing from a side closer to the merging start point Ps toward the rear side, is listed as a candidate merging space. - As illustrated in the example of
FIG. 5 , as the host vehicle F01 travels along the merging lane Lb, the candidate mergeable space on the main lane La gradually enters the sensing range A1 of an exterior recognition sensor. Theexterior recognition unit 03 preferentially senses the candidate mergeable space F04 among the sensing range of the exterior recognition sensor and checks for the vehicles that could not be detected by vehicle-to-vehicle communication or road-to-vehicle communication, and for the other vehicles that were once present and sensed in the vicinity of the space F04 but might have their mergeable spaces changed due to acceleration and deceleration or lane change of the other vehicles. Thereafter, when it is confirmed that merging is continuously possible, theexterior recognition unit 03 determines a path for entering the mergeable space and performs vehicle control for the merging. - While the
exterior recognition unit 03 senses and confirms the other vehicle existence of which is already known by communication (C2X), prioritized sensing is performed toward the other vehicle vicinity space such as the candidate space F04. In this, the frequency and resources of detection processing are changed to achieve sensing for this space more intensive than for the other vehicles. In the case of sensing the candidate space F04 with a camera image, for example, the imaging speed and image processing accuracy are increased. - Moreover, the other vehicle
information acquisition unit 02 may change the degree of intensiveness of sensing in accordance with which of the following pattern is used to acquire the information of the other vehicle: (1) vehicle-to-vehicle communication (C2C) alone; (2) both the vehicle-to-vehicle communication and the road-to-vehicle communication (C2C+C2I); and (3) the road-to-vehicle communication (C2I) alone. For example, in a case where the information of the other vehicle is acquired by both (2) vehicle-to-vehicle communication and road-to-vehicle communication (C2C+C2I), information has higher accuracy compared with the case using (3) road-to-vehicle communication (C2I) alone. Accordingly, it is allowable to perform the sensing for the other vehicles with less intensiveness than the case of (3) road-to-vehicle communication (C2I) alone and perform the sensing for the vicinity region other than the other vehicles with more intensiveness. - In the case with the candidate space that can be available for merging provided that the succeeding vehicle on the main lane decelerates or changes lanes, traveling is continued diagonally rearward of the other vehicle located in immediate front of the space. Next, a lane-change signal is issued, and then, information is acquired from the host vehicle vicinity
information management unit 04. In a case where it can be confirmed that the other vehicle behind the space will decelerate or change the lane to enable ensuring a mergeable space, a path for entering the space is determined and vehicle control for merging is executed. - In a case where the candidate mergeable space cannot be confirmed, a similar procedure is performed for a candidate space further behind.
- An example of the above control at merging from the merging lane to the main lane is illustrated in the flowchart of
FIG. 6 . - Determination is made whether the information of the other vehicle on the main lane La has been acquired by vehicle-to-vehicle/road-to-vehicle communication (S101). In a case where the information has been acquired (YES in S101), the vehicle is accelerated to fit the speed of the other vehicle traveling on the main lane La (S102). In a case where the information has not been acquired (NO in S101), the vehicle is accelerated to conform to the speed limit of the main lane La (S109).
- Then, a search is performed to a candidate mergeable space (S103), and the vehicle is accelerated to enable merging into the candidate mergeable space (S104), a lane-changing signal is issued by a blinker/vehicle-to-vehicle communication (S105), while sensing a candidate mergeable space by the exterior recognition unit 03 (S106).
- With a result of the sensing, it is determined whether merging is possible (S107). In a case where it is determined that merging is possible (YES in S107), vehicle control for merging into the mergeable space is executed (S108). In another case where it is determined that the merging is not possible (NO in S107), the merging target is changed to a next candidate mergeable space (S110), and the processing returns to S104 again.
- According to the
vehicle control device 01 of the present Example, a candidate mergeable space for the host vehicle is detected on the basis of the information of other vehicles in the vicinity acquired by the vehicle-to-vehicle communication and the road-to-vehicle communication, and the candidate mergeable space is verified by the exterior recognition using a sensor. With this configuration, it is possible in merging on a highway or the like not only to accelerate to an appropriate speed but also to grasp the action of the vicinity vehicles and thus confirm whether there is a space that makes safe merging possible. - The lane change on the main lane can also be implemented with a control similar to the case of merging. An example of the specific control will be described below.
- In the present Example, in a case where the other vehicle
information acquisition unit 02 has acquired information of a plurality of other vehicles traveling lengthwise, that is, in the front-rear direction, theexterior recognition unit 03 senses an inter-other vehicle space between the plurality of other vehicles. For example, as illustrated inFIG. 7 , in a case where the host vehicle F01 is present on the traveling lane La2 of the main lane La and the other vehicles F02 and F03 on a passing lane La1 of the lane change destination are present within the sensing range A1 of theexterior recognition unit 03, and in a case where the other vehicles F04 and F05 are outside the sensing range A1 of theexterior recognition unit 03, the information from the host vehicle vicinityinformation management unit 04 is used for sensing the other vehicles F02, F03, F04, and F05 and the road conditions on the passing lane La1. - Subsequently, it is examined whether there is a lane changeable space (inter-other vehicle space) on the passing lane La1. At that time, candidates are searched for in a direction from the other vehicle in a closer position within the sensing range A1 of the
exterior recognition unit 03, immediately adjacent to the host vehicle, toward the other vehicle more distant within the sensing range A1 of theexterior recognition unit 03. In a case where there is a lane changeable space, the host vehicle is decelerated down to the speed that enables lane change to that space. - In the case of
FIG. 7 , there is no lane changeable space between the other vehicles F02 and F03 or between the other vehicles F03 and F04, and thus, the inter-other vehicle space F06 outside the sensing range A1 of theexterior recognition unit 03 becomes a candidate for the lane changeable space. - The speed of the host vehicle F01 is adjusted so as to change the lane to the inter-other vehicle space F06. Preferential sensing is performed at a point where the inter-other vehicle space F06 as the lane changeable space as illustrated in
FIG. 8 comes within the sensing range A1 of theexterior recognition unit 03. When it is confirmed that the inter-other vehicle space F06 as the lane changeable space can be ensured by the preferential sensing, a path to enter the inter-other vehicle space F06 is determined and vehicle control for lane change is executed. - In contrast, when it is not possible to confirm the inter-other vehicle space as the lane changeable space, the similar procedure is executed for a candidate space further backward.
